important subjects seriously and care
fully, while prominent politicians on
being asked their views express the opin-

nation of about S50,000 per month.
One effect of extra sessions is that they
shorten the regular sessions, and conse.

The exceedingly warm weather of the
past week has turned the attention OF
swelteripg humanity towards our beau.
tiful parks, and right well are they ap.
preciated and enjoyed. The lovely
stretches of green lawn dotted here and
there with evergreens, fascinate the eye,
and lovers of outdoor exercise view the
advantages for croquet grounds and ten
mis- courts which they afford, with long
ing eye. The doughty watchman stands
guard over the forbidden ground, but the
familiar legend "keep off the grass" is
sufficient warning to all. Uncle Sam
has always resisted efforts to turn the
breathing places to practical use, but the
masses are earnestly protesting against
the prevailing exclusiveness, and hope
soon to enliven the evenings with sports
which now can only be enjoyed in the
suburbs, or in private grounds.
Washington is much excited owing to
the new police regulation which went
into effect Thursday. The most notable
part of these regulations, and that which
has raised the ire of the citizens, requires
carriages and hacks of every description
to be provided with lanterns at night,
and all bicycles and other similar ma:
chimes to be supplied with lanterns and
alarm bells. The new order of things
furnishes abundant amusement for the
hunorously inclined, and the day before
the regulations went into effect, dis.
pleased wheelman rode past the District
Offices, in full view of the Commission:
ers, with large milk gong attached to
his machine, which he continually rung
in q mournful tone, his face being distor.
ted by malicious grin. The Commits:
sioners enjoyed the joke and laughed
heartily. But the best things are seen at
night on the avenue where carriages and
wagons slowly roll along with jack Ian.
terms, and even candles attached. One
enterprising wsg secured locomotive
headlight and mounting it in bis wagon
gayly sped his horse over the smooth
psvements, creating consternation among
the few. and unlimited amusement among
the many. Those who ride wheels" are
much displeased at the restriction OF
their liberties, and vent their ill feeling
in the most outrageous manner. Their
chief instrument of torture are milk
gongs and COW bells.
Upon the whole the average Washing
tonian is very philosophical in making
the most out of what is really serious

THE MEETING ON sALEDAY.

The prohibition mass meeting in the
Court House on last Monday elected a
full house, despite the most inclement
weather. The meeting was called to
order BY Hon. B, F. Crayton, who intro.
duced Rey. Mr.. Nicholson, of Easley,
who expressed the hope that the prohi.
bitionists would succeed in the coming
election in this County, and drive the
liquor traffic from our midst.
Col. Crayton next introduced Col. ].
n. Brown, who took up the bill and
explained it's ssseral sections, showing
that they. we're all aimed at stopping the
sale fspiritnous liquor, and that there
was not a section in it to which any tenn
perance man could reasonably object.
He also said that he had heard some
objections to this bill because it was
Senator Murrsy's bill, and that he
desired to say that Mr.. Murray was not
entitled to all cf the credit nor all of the
blame for this bill. It had been submit.
ted to the delegation, and they had
amended it before it was introduced, and
he considered it the delegations bill.
That every member of the delegation in
the Senate and in the House voted for it,
and that he did not consider ii the
property of any one man. 1t was the
peoples bill, because they had pledged
every candidate who ran for either
House of the Legislature to submit this
question to the people for settlement.
sCol. Brown made.a strong, pointed argu.
ment in favor of the bill.
Capt. John W. Daniels was next called
upon, and responded in strong and
able speech, in which he claimed part
in the passage Of this bill, and said that
swhatever. influence Senator Murray had
in passing the bill through the Senate,
that he and his colleagues in the House
were responsible for the passage of the
bill through the House; that the bill
could not have become law without
passing the House and getting the Gov.
ernor's approval. That the delegation
had been consulted, and had made
changes in the draft of the bill as sub.
mitted by Mr.. Murray, and that they
were as much responsible for the meas.
ure as he was. he thought the bill was
demanded by the people, and heard no
objection to the passage of such bill.
he made an eloquent plea for the cause
of prohibition.
Speeches were then called for and
made in turn by Messrs. E. B. Murray,
d. q. scudday, DR.. Wightmsn, L. E.
Campbell, E. W. Long, G. Wardlaw, W.
E. Walters and W. T. Lander. The
speeches were earnest and pointed, elic.
iting frequent applause. The effect of
the meeting was favorable to the prohi-
bitionists, and the crowd dispersed feel.
ing that by pstient work victory will
crown the prohibition standard on next
Tuesday week in this County.

The State of Texas votes on tomorrow
on the question of prohibiting the liquor
traffic in that State by constitutional
amendment. The prohibitionists will
poll 9 very strong vote, and are hopeful
of success. It is big undertaking to
carry a State like Texas for prohibition,
and ne do not look for success on Thurs.
day. The first effort will scarcely sue.
ceed, but the fact that the prohibitionists
are strong enough to get an election and
poll q large vote, shows great increase
Of the prohibition sentiment in the
country. The tima is not far distant, in
our judgment, when the traffic will be
banished from the United States.

s. The prohibitionists have. a larger
number Of Managers of Election than we
thought last week. Before the changes
at Honea Path, as We are informed there
were twelve precincts at which the anti
probibitionists had a majority Of the
Managers, and eight at which the pro.
Ihibitionists had the majority. At some
Of. the:eight precincts the prohibitionists
have ali three of the managers. There
are more prohibitionists in the County
than We had previously supposed.

THE RIVER AT A STAND.


At a. m. the river has fallen about
three inches from the highest point,
which was reached at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and is now at stand. 1t is
feared that the heavy rains which are
reported from up the river this afternoon
will cause another rise. This together
with the break in the canal will cause a
loss of many hundred thousand dollars,
perhaps millions, in Augusta.
The streets are washed 80 badly that it
will take six months work to again put
them in good condition. Nearly every
sewer has burst, and, all in all, affairs
here are in terrible condition.
AUGUSTA, August There was gen
eral rejoicing when the people of Augusta
awoke this morning and found the waters
receding. They were subsidipg slowly
and are at o'clock thirty inches below
the highest point, which was reached at
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Broad
street is entirely above water from East
boundary to west eud, but Greene, Telfair
Walker and Fenwick, together with South
Commons and all the northeastern por.
tion of the city, are still overapwsd to
depth of from one to ten feet.

this morning, and found the damage to
all property to be far more than can be
imagined. Many streets are washed into
great gulleys and made entirely impassa-

description may be seen floating about on

nearly swimming the horse. There I
found force of hands at work throwing
in sand bags, but their efforts proved
futile, and the bank is washing away
very rapidly. Already there is break
twenty feet in width, which is enlarging
rapidly. Through this the water is flow
ing at an inconceivable rate, washing
away everything in its track.

AUGUSTA, July 31-10 p. ma very
hard rain is falling here now. The river
has been rising slowly all day. Now all
the city is flooded except that portion
bounded by Campbell, Greene, East
Boundary and Reynold streets. Seven.
eighths of the city is under water. The
canal has just broken near the locks and
is leaking at the street car stables, and is
broken at Lombard's foundry, which is
in danger of being washed away any
minute.

Small wooden houses near are being
washed around into the street, and it is
feared that all brick houses in the neigh
borhood will be undermined and ruined.
The water is rushing down Greene street
near the break at a very rapid rate, and
is rising fast into the houses. Fortu.
nately all occupants of the houses near
by have been removed, and there is
hardly any danger of loss of life.

WIPE 1T OUT.

If the whole internal revenue tax and
system was wiped out it would be bless
ing 10 the temperance cause, to morality,
to humanity, and to the oppressed people
of Western North Carolina Many people
are expressing gushing sympathy for the
oppressed lrishmen in Ireland, but It is
Very doubtful if the Irish are oppressed
and ruined by English enactments as much
as many Of the poor white people of West
ern North Carolina are by the unjust in
ternal rcvo lue law We cannot but think
that if President Cleveland Speaker Car
Isle, and many Senators and Representa-
tives knew how unjust and oppressive the
tax on whiskey and tobacco was to the
destitute mountain section of this State,
they would favor its repeal. Let the whole
thing be free and there viii be less of the
runouS articles made aud less used, and
no poor destitute men and women jailed
or sold out Of house and home to pay
court costs. The internal revenue law is
a shameful and degrading one. Char

A Horrible Accident.
From Goldsboro Argus.

our people have never been so shocked
as they were Thursday evening. Mr..
Adolph Ettinger and Miss Matte Rosen-
thai were out riding. Just as they reach
ed the W. & W. r. R., on Oak street they
saw for the first time the fast mail train
only a short distance away, running at a
rate variously estimated at from Is to 25
miles per hour. They crossed the track
in safety, however, but just as they crossed,
the horse became frightened and stopped
and backed them on the track. Realizing
their danger, each jumped. Mr.. Ettinger
jumped forward and off the track, while
Miss ROsenthal in her excitement jumped
on to the track and fell with her head off
the track just as the train struck her and
passed over her, crushing her limbs and
bruising her body and head so that she
could not live. The whole train with the
exception of the last sleeper passed over
her. Miss Rosenthal was at once moved
to Mr.. Harvey's house and physicians were
hastily summoned. An examination of
her wounds leaves no hope of recovery.
Later she was taken home, where she died
during the night

A MODEL POULTRY YARD.
A Visit TO the Poultry Yard OF the Misses
Barron.
from Wilson Advance. I

Two young ladies OF Edgecombe county
have one Of the finest poultry yards in the
State. They are Misses Martha and Bette
Barron, daughters OF Col. Barron. The
editor of the Advance in company with
our genial sheriff, J. W. Crowell, went out
to Col. Barron's residence last Friday for
the purpose of seeing the model poultry
yard of these enterprlsing young ladies.
The yards and all the appqrtenances
thereto belonging We're cheerfuly aud
proudly shown us by the young ladies
We We're greatly surprised to see the many
arrangements and cOnveniences for the
raising of poultry that these young ladies
have. The brooder house was the first
place CT interest that we visited. This
house is covered inside with a tar oil pa
per and the outside with regular. water
and air proof roofing so that the cold air
cannot come in. A cotton padded con
cern, (eNcuSe our ignorance in technical
termsl over zine flooring which is heated
IN winter by lamp, Is where the little
chicks are lowered. There are several of
these broOder houses and the chicks of
different ages are put in different ones.
When the chickens are Old enough to be
taken out of the brood houses they put
them into yards, III which there are houses
for them at night. There are nine of these
lots for the chickens, one for each variety
raised. They raise the following different
varieties: Wyandotte, Plymouth Rock,
Light Brahma, Brown and White Leg
Horn, Black Java Game and !angshans.
The yards are. some OF them, planted in
green food, which chickens are very fond
of and which does them good.
There are two yards for turkey raising.
OF which they have some especially fine
specimens; two for the ducks, and these
are all fitted up with the same care and
attention with which the quarters devoted
to the chickens are.
The Matching of chickens, ducks and tur
! keys Is carried on by aid Of both chickens
ducks and turkeys and the incubator. The
eggs are set under the hens until nearly
time for them to be hatched when they are
placed under the incubator and there
hatched out.
The trip to the poultry yard well paid
us for our trouble. We wish every man
and woman in the State could see the yard
and the many arrangements for raising
chickens that are in use. Everything is
neat and clean as any ordinary dwelling
house, and there is no convenience lacking.
We were informed that four hundred
chickens were raised last year and a good
number OF turkeys and ducks.
